AnnainOK 49 Posted October 10, 2015 @@aranushka My surgery is the 26th. I understand what you mean about owing it to your kids. I'm 55 and have a 12-year-old. I lost 70 pounds the old-fashioned way when he was 2, but haven't been able to continue nor keep it all off, so I'm having RNYGP. I'm not thinking about it more than I must. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. Good luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lynn in va beach 53 Posted October 11, 2015 I was supposed to have my surgery mid November but the office called me Friday and said they had October 27th available since I had completed all of my pre-op requirements so they kinda caught me a little of guard I'm really excited as I have been working toward this for a little over 6 months now (I even lost 49 pounds following the NUT advice) but I am also really nervous ????

60&goin4it 931 Posted October 11, 2015 @@kvoneye I had to take magnesium citrate to clean out my colon. You will only be on Clear Liquids that day the day before surgery. My hospital recommended Propel zero or Powerade zero to drink all day because of the loss of electrolytes during this process. Just be careful not to wipe too hard after you go to the bathroom or you will become sore from wiping so much that day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
